If you are listening to nature sounds all night can the alarm be set to buzzer or does it have to be set to nature sounds as well?

Yes, you can set the alarm to buzzer even though you are listening to the nature sound. In addition, this Sony clock radio has 2 sets of alarm (Alarm A and B) in which you may set to either Radio, Buzzer or Nature Sound. Ely

There is a gradual volume control that allows loud to soft. You also have about 25 different alarm sounds to choose from. Works great. Also the base and sensor can be 100 feet apart and still work. I have tried others and recommend this one!

You can turn the siren alarm off in the"menu" option. The lights (red & yellow) will still light though. The announcement will still come on as long as the volume is up ..it will not mute the announcement automatically. ...you must press the snooze button....As a side note you can adjust the siren alarm by whatever the volume level you have set the unit too...hope this helps...

Yep. I use that feature every night. Once you set the sleep timer though, don't touch other buttons. If you set it and then mess with volume or whatever, the alarm might go off because the other buttons seem to change the sleep timer over to an alarm instead. Just hit play and then press the alarm button twice and it will be a 30 min sleep timer. Not truly sure if it's random but it does play different songs every night. It just might be in order, not random.

I have noticed that the sun going behind a cloud and then brightening again when it comes out again will trigger the alarm. Also if it is windy tree movement etc. can trigger it. Try repositioning your sensor or shielding part of it. However, if it chimes constantly no matter what the conditions it is probably defective.

When it plays music on the alarm function, is it music only, or the alarm sound as well? (I have one that simultaneously also beeps while it's on wake with music, I do not want one like that ever again.)

You set the alarm to sound for a certain amount of time(for my mother I set it to stay on for 1 hr). After the hour is up the door stays open until the next alarm goes off. For my mother we had 3 alarms that went off in the course of a day.

The wake setting will stay on until you reset the alarm. There is an option for two alarms, but I always reset it for my daughter's nap and then reset it again for her wake time in the morning. I have not tried the two alarms because I am afraid it might mess things up. So far, my daughter LOVES this clock. It works really well. She does not make any noise until the bunny wakes up.

Many things can set off an alarm like that. The wind blowing or even an animal can set them off. We have a different brand and it needs to be re-positioned a little because it even picks up our neighbors when they are outside or leaving. We bought this one as a Christmas present which, of course, we haven't given yet. Ours sounds at night when some deer pass by. You might try to change the position a little and see if that helps.

There is an Alert setting that will sound a siren-like sound when there is a weather alert. Normally we turn ours off of that setting so we don't get constant alarms unless it's a BIG event or something has a high probability of occurring at night.

No - it's the only thing I don't like about this CD/alarm clock. The buzzer comes on full and LOUD. It's too loud for me. I'm going to change to wake up to radio, at least I can control that volume. This thing would be perfect if the alarm came on low and then went to loud. But it doesn't!

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

In my experience no. If you are listening to music as night, when the music stops after some time the speaker turns off, though it keeps charging your phone. So when I wake up the speaker is off and the alarm sound come out of the phone. I am not sure if you played music all night (keeping the speaker active) if the alarm would play through the speaker, my guess is it probably would. I would test for you but I am out of town for the next few days.

it does have an alarm...you can set it to a radio station or the alarm that's built in it...but no choice of different sounds...

I had it set incorrectly the first night and the alarm sounded at 5:30am (sigh)... it's the third setting, not the forth. :-)

The red light would NEVER wake a sleeping person. The announcement MIGHT wake up a sleeping person. Obviously it depends on whether the person is a deep sleeper. The alarm is loud - but, in my opinion, it's not a "siren" noise, but similar to an alarm clock deep tone buzzer. We were VERY PEASED when ours sounded during the night when Severe Thunderstorms blew through our area. The buzzer definitely alerted us to the danger. The announcement ends on its own (EVENTUALLY), but you can stop it or "snooze" it. Setting all these "options" up is a bit tricky, but once it is set to your specs & satisfactions, it is a great product. The red light would NEVER wake a sleeping person.

It is very easy too set the alarm without assistance. It only turns one way so if you go past your intended time just keep going around until you reach the desired time. As for the volume, I think it is loud. It is not the annoying buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of the previous models it is a digital beep which changes with urgency if you don't turn it off quickly.
